Reviews for "Blueshift"

A Bullet Hell game that could use some work.

- There are too many shots without much of a pattern.

- You shouldn't have such a large hit box with that many bullets.

- Oversensitive controls... not a good idea.

- Nothing seems to set this apart from the rest of the shmups.

- Doesn't keep you interested.

+ Graphics were good.

+ Menus and features were well designed.

2/5, 4/10.

Great effects, poor execution

Graphically, this game was above average. The parallaxing backgrounds were smooth, the ships looked very nice, the explosions were pretty cool, and the simple touches like water wakes when you flew low on the first level added eye candy.

However, my biggest gripe was the enemies. The point of a sidescrolling shooter is to wait for an opportunity to swoop in and blow your enemy out of the sky. With the way you had these bad guys shooting, those opportunities were hard to find. Basically, every enemy was on a short timer and shooting once that timer counted down to zero. Once ten or so enemies started showing up, it was hard to not take several hits if you wanted to try and shoot them down. Since your basic weapon could only fire straight ahead, the majority of the enemies were difficult to take down without taking a hit or two. I never got far enough to discover all these badass weapons that other people are mentioning because I closed the game in sheer frustration.

had potential-keep trying

i dont like the manverbility of any of the crafts too sketchy think mouse based movement would do better.
the sheild last for about a second, and then fades for some time thats based off what, i dunno
hail of enemy gunfire makes it too hard to kill anything-god forbid someone plays on hard mode.....

Stupid.

Well at the start it's too hard to shoot anything because they have a long line of bullets making it almost impossible to get in line to shoot em, there are too many enemies and they all shoot bullets which isn't the idea in sidescrollers. So yeah not very good. 2/5. However when you go low the water splashes under you I thought was quite cool.

sucks

i..i..words can't even describe how deep my hatred for this game was. i hated this game after only 20 minutes of playing it went by...there isn't enough space in this thing to describe all the things that were wrong with it, you can do better =\
